~Sleeping Problems~
*Warning spoilers for season 4*
(Takes place just after Emma comes back with Hook from the past. Elsa does not appear.)
Emma couldn't sleep. She had been up for two days straight hunting down a new fairytale character. Apparently she, talked to the ocean, or, something. Anyway, she had been looking forward to shuting down for a good day and a half, not being wide awake at 11:36pm with a buzzing mind. Dealing with Regina being sassy and Snow being... well, Snow, he was tired. She could physically feel how tired she was but it seemed the universe was against her. Giving up, she turned on the lights of her room, hoping not to wake Henry, and sat cross legged on her bed, thinking.
There was a tap on her door and she looked up to see Killian leanimg on the frame wearing a black t-shirt and pyjamas. "You ok Swan? It's late". Emma sighed and rubbed her eyes with her palms "I can sleep" she muttered "how about you? Doesn't that handsome face of yours need rest?" The teasing didn't go far. Killian smiled "flattered, Swan, truly, but your beautiful mind needs sleep as well". He came and sat down next to her, making the bed dip "I could help". She looked at him "how? Your not exactly known for your gentle touch". Killian looked down and Emma sighed "ok, fine, but only because I'm in desperate need".
"Light a candle? Isn't that what David uses for nightmares?" Killian had a tall, white wax candle and placed in on her bedside table "trust me Swan, months at sea don't exactly give you kind nights, this will help. Just watch it until you fall asleep". Rolling her eyes, she watch Killian leave and lit the candle. Turning off the lights she encased the candle with a force field to make sure it didn't burn the house down. And that night, Emma finally slept peacefully.
